Overview

• The València City Council filed six technical objections to the CHJ’s Saleta diversion project, citing concerns that an additional 830 m³/s from the Saleta and Poyo barrancos would lower the Turia channel’s flood protection capacity.
• The CHJ clarified that the current public consultation pertains only to the Saleta diversion (130 m³/s), with the Poyo project to be updated and tendered later this summer.
• València conditions its support for the project on implementing corrective measures to raise the Turia channel’s flood-protection capacity to handle increased flows.
• Neighboring towns like Aldaia criticized València for delays, arguing that the objections jeopardize long-awaited flood infrastructure and public safety.
• Godelleta renewed calls for funding to urgently divert the Juncar barranco after October 2024 floods caused severe damage to residential areas.
